Students of Kyambogo University on Saturday morning descended on a phone thief and clobbered him to coma.

George Kasujja, 26, a resident of Banda B zone, was caught trying to flee from campus with a phone he had stolen from a first year Education student, Aisha Nalukenge.

According to Nalukenge, Kasujja attacked her when she was almost entering the lecture room, grabbed her phone, and tried to run away.

In the process, Nalukenge said she made an alarm that attracted other students who chased him.
